I've always loved the Jeep Scrambler.

An old college friend had a GNX an he would go out to race Corvettes.
He pretty much just smoked the rear tires.

Pic above is our U500. I operate it with the street sweeper attachment on it, as pictured. We have other attachments for it as well. Very difficult to get parts for it now, since Unimog left the country. Not very good when you need the truck to perform daily tasks. It's an overly complex machine, IMO. Almost nothing is easy to fix on it, at least not on the truck itself. The attachments aren't too bad but, we've had very failures with them. And no, we are not allowed to wheel it anywhere. (frown)

This is not my dream ride though. Not even close. I'll take an original AC Cobra to fill that bill please.

And this is where little Unimogs come from.

Re the Volvo C306, I think I'd rather have a Pinzgauer 6X6.  With the fold-down windshield.
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I used to get to drive one of these Snowcats when I was stationed in Alaska.  That was pretty fun.  I would be driving down a road on the back of the base and then just turn and go over the huge snowbank, out into the powder.

Like that. Snowcats are cool. I like WWII Weasels too. Pretty much if it has tracks on it, I dig it..........except for the ladies that hang around "the block." Confused LOL

I just saw this on the web. Pretty impressive. The Kubota diesel is a plus.
